The risk
Parts of the retractable roof that are close to the side-curtain airbag may not be sufficiently held in place in the event of an accident. As a result, when the airbag is deployed, passengers sitting in the back seat may come into contact with materials that can cause cuts. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Product: Vehicles fitted with a retractable roof.
